Yup I have do indeed have another Christmas Card to share with you all today! For some reason this week I have been in a rather festive mood lol I have some great news to share before showing you the card though related to PBSC! This week not only are we welcoming our new sponsor J&C CREATIONS who I have just started designing for but also our old teamie JACQUI who helps run the store with Jenny back to the Deisgn Team after taking a little break !!! Yipeee !!!

This week at PBSCour challenge is Hot Metal! We'd like to see some metal somewhere on your creations. I decided to twist the theme a little bit and use silver embossing powder to create a metal effect.

As part of designing for J&C Creations I get to make an extra 3 creations a month using products by the brand selected for the main blog as well as creating something for the challenge blog. Today I am sharing with you the first of the extra three which is a Christmas Card! The brand of choice for June are Penny Black and I have had this stamp for a while ... naughtily this is the first time I have used it!

Jacqui shared my card on the team blog yesterday and if you would like to see it with the method of making it just click here to pop over and have a peek!

Thank you for all the lovely comments recently, I know I say it a lot but they really are a pleasure to read and I'l try to return the favour to those that I haven't yet during this week :) Before I get onto today's card I'd like to share with you a sneak peek of the Papercraft Inspirations August Issue as one of my cards has been published in the 'What's out there ... beautiful blogs' pages !!! They have used one of my C&S Penny Black Cards :) You can see it in the bottom left corner when it's printed... I can't wait to get my hands on a copy on the 4th of July!

Today's card is something I made quickly as I wanted to try out making another quick card using a splash of crackle paint!

Well today I am back at Work Experience until Friday evening so I won't get a chance to do any more crafting until the weekend :( ... So it's a good job I got a fair bit done over the weekend isn't it to share with you all until then! Today's card is for this week's new challenge over at PAPERTAKE WEEKLY where we have a Sketch for you all to play along with! I really enjoyed making this card and decided to give it a super distressed style!

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! I've been able to have a 4 day weekend myself as this week I am at Work Experience Tues - Fri instead of Mon - Thurs so you can guess what I will be doing today!

I wanted to share with you a tag that I managed to make just for fun over the weekend as I wanted to join in with a few Magnolia Tilda Challenges. This tag also has my first attempt at using DI Inks when colouring as I have used DI Ink on the edging of tilda's clothes, hair bobbles and shoes. I've also used it on the Magnolia buds.

I can't believe how much the weather has changed since the start of the week!

It's gone from really hot bright sunshine to torrential rain pour!

I managed to get a snap of the Olympic Torch outside Work Experience on Monday which I didn't really expect to do ... and then yesterday morning I got a snapshot of the sight that greeted me outside the window ... however I didn't mind this as I was staying in all day for a Crafting Day :)

I have also found out that I have had another win!!! It certainly seems to be my lucky week!

I won this week's challenge over at Lilli's Little Fairies!!! Yipeee!!!

This week's challenge over at PBSC is Fly the Flags! We would like to see some flags on your creation :)

I used the free stamps with latest issue of Craft Stamper to make mine which was lucky as I didn't have anything else! lol
